Join us as we travel south to explore a traditional Mexican mole recipe and learn about the significance and impact of the artist Frida Kahlo. Kahlo was a surrealist Mexican painter whose art focused on gender, class and race through the lens of her experiences, challenges and adventures. She was known for hosting large dinner parties and her cookbook features several variations of mole. Inspired by the various mole recipes included in Frida's cookbook, Maite will walk us through how to create Enmoladas (Mole Enchiladas) using our own version of this traditional Mexican sauce and its historical ingredients that are rooted in Indigenous Aztec culture.
A limited number of FREE Taste of Art kits will be available for pick-up from the LUAG Main Galleries in Zoellner Arts Center beginning on Tues., November 29. Please email luag@lehigh.edu if you'd like us to put one aside for you.
